<H2><A NAME="3_3">Install txt2tags</A></H2>
<P> As a single Python script, txt2tags needs no installation at all.</P>
<P> The only file needed to use the program is the txt2tags script. The
 other files of the package are documentation, tools and sample files.</P>
<P> The fail-proof way to run txt2tags, is calling Python with it:</P>
<PRE>
prompt$ python txt2tags
</PRE>
<P> If you want to install txt2tags on the system as a stand alone
 program, just copy the txt2tags script to a system PATH directory and
 make sure the system knows how to run it.</P>
<DL>
<DT><B>UNIX/Linux/Mac</B></DT>
<DD> Make the script executable (<CODE>chmod +x txt2tags</CODE>) and
 copy it to a $PATH directory (<CODE>cp txt2tags /usr/local/bin</CODE>)
<P></P>
</DD>
<DT><B>Windows</B></DT>
<DD> Rename the script adding the .py extension and copy it to a system
 PATH directory, such as <CODE>C:\Windows\System32</CODE>.</DD>
</DL>
<P> After that, you can create an icon on your desktop for it, if you
 want to use the program's Graphical Interface.</P>
